A small number of French troops withdrawn from Wissanburg attempted to position themselves in the southern area of Gaisburg, but the superior Germans quickly caught up and repelled the remnants of the 2nd Division.

The 2nd Division had no choice but to continue its retreat to the northwest, after all, it was in France, and the cavalry battalions sent by the Germans to continue the pursuit and reconnaissance soon lost their traces.

Although the 2nd Division managed to escape partially, their departure also signaled a complete defeat for France at the Battle of Visanburg.

Commanders McMahon and Dicro, who had given two opposing orders, had been standing on the top of the Depichenay Pass, and they had a full view of the battle.

Both of them are now a little silent, in this battle the French army's will to fight is not indomitable, in the face of 4 times their own artillery, nearly 10 of their own enemies, can fight back and forth.

Even if it finally surrenders, it undoubtedly shows the glory of the French in this era.

But the battle was fought like this, and they couldn't help but doubt themselves - it was true that the French forces at the front were inferior in all respects, but they were not inferior to this extent.

If there is such a huge disparity in local areas, there will definitely be a problem with the command.

In any case, the battle had to be continued, and this time it was only a division defeat, a big blow to McMahon's troops, but nothing to the French army as a whole.

McMahon's strategic aim was always to contain the advance of Crown Prince Frederick III's forces, and Wisanburg could not hold it, believing that a new defensive position could be established in the north.

If he could have gathered all his troops in one place, he would not be at a great disadvantage in terms of numbers compared to the forces of Crown Prince Frederick III.

Under the guidance of this ideology, he led the French 7th Army, which was directly under his command, to advance in the direction of Frörsqueville in the north, and notified his Fifth Army, which was stationed in the defense of Beach, to provide support as appropriate.

However, MacMahon was held back by a small German force on the road, but it delayed him for some time, and by the time he reached Froesqueville, it was already a day later.

Fortunately, Prussia was no better, and in order to find the whereabouts of McMahon's main force, Crown Prince Frederick III sent a number of troops to launch a large-scale search in all directions.

The Prussian army and the Poles' Fifth Army were very disciplined and always marched resolutely in the rain, but this was not the case with the Bavarian Army and the newly joined Prussian armies in Hesse, Nassau, and Saxoville.

They had recently been annexed by Prussia, and the bad habits of the past had not improved, and this was again in France, and the soldiers could be said to have no scruples.

They looted every house and shop along the way, completely putting orders aside, bringing misfortune to the French populace and giving MacMahon time to rally his troops.

On the evening of 23 September, Frederick III received the news that MacMahon was stationed at Fröësqueville with his army, and he was glad that it was not far from them and separate from the rest of the French legions.

In this way, they can use their superior forces to calmly encircle and destroy McMahon's legion.

……

McMahon was well aware of the impending danger, and he also understood that the better option for the time being was to continue the retreat along the Vosges Mountains.

But he couldn't go, because there were still a few thousand people left in the remnants of the Second Division, and they must not be let go of Prussia to eat, and he had to collect the Second Division here before making the next plan.

In addition, Frørsqueville was a transportation hub in eastern France, and once Prussia took it, it would be able to control the railway from Beach to Strasbourg and the road through the mountains to Japan, and at that time, with easy transportation, Prussian troops could gallop around the north of France.

Therefore, he can only hold and not retreat.

Moreover, McMahon felt that he was not without a chance of victory, the terrain near Frørsqueville was favorable to the French army, and in the case of close combat, with the help of Chasebo rifles, the French army was stronger than the German army, which was obvious to all.

He could have defended a wave on this basis, tried to thwart the German offensive momentum, and if he played well, he might be able to retake Wissanberg with the support of friendly forces.

The battle was so crucial that the Emperor Napoleon was so worried that he ordered Ferry to come to McMahon's aid with the Fifth Army.

The Fifth Army numbered 30,000 men, and as long as they arrived on time, the numerical disadvantage of McMahon's troops could be greatly alleviated.

However, the battle began immediately, but the Fifth Army was still some way away, and they would definitely not be able to catch up in the first battle.

So McMahon ordered Ferry to quickly move closer to him, and if he could, try to outflank the German flank.

On September 24, part of the army of the Prussian Third Army had already reached the Volta area.

Walter was very close to Frödskweville, slightly to the right.

Here, the 4th Division of the 2nd Bavarian Army on the right flank met the 1st Division of the French Army, and the Prussian 5th Army and the Baden-Württemberg Army, formed by the Poles, faced the 3rd French Division.

The 11th Prussian Army, which had been merrily looting before, heard that the battle had begun, and quickly rushed over from their march route to support.

It was an encounter that everyone didn't expect.

Needless to say, McMahon had tried his best to delay waiting for the Ferry Department to come to his aid.

And the Prussians didn't want to start fighting as soon as they entered Walta - they had to deploy and plan first, and then talk about the attack the next day, right?

Prussia, as the attacking side, the order to retreat, of course, was given by them, and Frederick III hastened to give the order to stop the attack.

However, with both sides unprepared, the battlefield was very chaotic, and the roads were blocked due to some rain, so the heralds were unable to communicate this order to the whole army.

The Germans soon tasted the bitter fruits of their rash attack.

The terrain of Frödskville was indeed very favorable to the defenders, and the French were hiding on high ground, and the threat of artillery fire to them was greatly diminished at once.

The French were able to calmly fire with their superior Chasepol rifles, while the Germans were armed with Dreiser rifles and Podwells rifles that could not even return fire effectively.

Since it was an encounter, the Germans, without a clear plan, could only bury their heads and charge upward.

The Italians have already demonstrated what will happen to the hard charge, but the Germans have clearly not learned their lesson.

The French-armed Gatling guns successfully carried out a massive massacre of the Germans.

Unlike the Spaniards, many of the French soldiers were veterans of the Crimean, Italian, Mexican and Algerian wars......

If you don't talk about anything else, let's talk about it, and it is definitely unique in the world.

Under their cover, the Germans were sent away by a bullet every time they rushed closer, and they could not pose an effective threat to the position at all.
